HCF Calculator using the Euclid Division Algorithm helps you to find the Highest common factor (HCF) easily for 8147, 7191 i.e. 1 the largest integer that leaves a remainder zero for all numbers.
HCF of 8147, 7191 is 1 the largest number which exactly divides all the numbers i.e. where the remainder is zero. Let us get into the working of this example.
Consider we have numbers 8147, 7191 and we need to find the HCF of these numbers. To do so, we need to choose the largest integer first and then as per Euclid's Division Lemma a = bq + r where 0 ≤ r ≤ b
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8147, 7191 is 1.
HCF(8147, 7191) = 1
Highest common factor or Highest common divisor (hcd) can be calculated by Euclid's algotithm.
Highest common factor (HCF) of 8147, 7191 is 1.
Step 1: Since 8147 > 7191, we apply the division lemma to 8147 and 7191, to get
8147 = 7191 x 1 + 956
Step 2: Since the reminder 7191 ≠ 0, we apply division lemma to 956 and 7191, to get
7191 = 956 x 7 + 499
Step 3: We consider the new divisor 956 and the new remainder 499, and apply the division lemma to get
956 = 499 x 1 + 457
We consider the new divisor 499 and the new remainder 457,and apply the division lemma to get
499 = 457 x 1 + 42
We consider the new divisor 457 and the new remainder 42,and apply the division lemma to get
457 = 42 x 10 + 37
We consider the new divisor 42 and the new remainder 37,and apply the division lemma to get
42 = 37 x 1 + 5
We consider the new divisor 37 and the new remainder 5,and apply the division lemma to get
37 = 5 x 7 + 2
We consider the new divisor 5 and the new remainder 2,and apply the division lemma to get
5 = 2 x 2 + 1
We consider the new divisor 2 and the new remainder 1,and apply the division lemma to get
2 = 1 x 2 + 0
The remainder has now become zero, so our procedure stops. Since the divisor at this stage is 1, the HCF of 8147 and 7191 is 1
Notice that 1 = HCF(2,1) = HCF(5,2) = HCF(37,5) = HCF(42,37) = HCF(457,42) = HCF(499,457) = HCF(956,499) = HCF(7191,956) = HCF(8147,7191) .
Here are some samples of HCF using Euclid's Algorithm calculations.
1. What is the Euclid division algorithm?
